NUMBER 25 THE CHICAGO NATION The Republican National C mendons Enthusiasm SENATOR WARREN G. HA News Writers of Democratic Papers Ma Ranks The Suffragettes Parade the Nomination of Charles E. Hughes pointed and Wind up by Nominating (By Sylvester Russell.) CHICAGO, IL.—(Special)—Rain was the torch that graced the opening of the National Historical Convention in Washington, June 1. The event was ordained as a token of baptismal from on high to immerse the Moose in water, June 2. The event was honored of the G.O. P but they would not be immersed. Unrelief protected them and rain beat upon the roof of the auditorium, who were called to assemble. At the Collegium there was more noise than music, unimpeded immediate protest and protesting in particular by Bishop William Fraser McDowell was truly great enough to be quoted as follows: "We pray that Thou wilt grace his gracious spirit, O God, that all our work be begun, continued and ended In Thee. We thank Thee that Thou did hear our hearts in times past. Now we pray that Thou, who hast blest us in the beginning and saved us in every crisis, will continue to be with us." We pray that Thou will lead the whole world to truth and liberty and that Thou will restore the public wrong and private wrong, and from the unrighteous in public and private life. We pray to keep us true to the great precepts upon which the republic is built. Bring peace to the war-torn world and hold us not to come into the strife other than as Thy servant. "O God, be Thou our guide, be Thou our help and lead us to Thy per- "in the name of our Lord and Master we ask it. Amen." This gayer was delivered at the Auditorium and its circumference is significant. The confederates in the lightness of opposition as orator of the movement of opposition were the source of considerable attention by noted writers who engaged in comedy. The director Warren H. Harding, of Ohio, who made the keynote speech for the Republicans, was a whispering hooligan that made him forget that ex-President Taft failed to keep his pledge in the war. He allowed the Negro race to make him splendid and then couldn't get him. And then the noted serbess Ibrahim Democratic of the Negro race was not even men-lined and not a living soul. He knew some distance from Mr. Roosevelt, according to this fancy writer who ended up being Democrat. There were four sources of pleasure which pleased the Israelites with Sesaran shouters and this announced the Hughes' admirers who were already charged at the top half of the audience, which pleased the face of Hughes which had been pictured in the Herald. On the second day of the conference, the committee was so highly honored that Preparedness Day parade, had dropped back to a National committeeman lost in the war, was whispered that Thompson might possibly emerge in the fog on the choosie, without the rear end lightened by the lightning bolt by Raymond Robbins, temporary chairman of the Progressives, started out the Southern flavor entirely too rich for the South. We want no military caste in this republic. We will have none if each citizen returns to time-honored physical and with a better understanding of the facts of war. We need have no fear in a nation where the entire living population knows what war means to modi-men. With universal suffrage and service there will be no needless wars. And with the race question in view in the South, and that question is very imprecise, we have no instance. More than one-half of the population is Negroes, brought up war and cowardice and distranc-cheed Americans, Democrats and Progressives. In the case of measured by threatening war from a black race of people in possible enough with Mexican heirs, it was allowed enough with the nation think, to make the Negroes fraternists and so. Some of the politicians from here are weak, allowed it was no hour to make conditions but the people who are suffer-ing the effects are beginning to think that we must begin to do likewise, those who are seeking financial gain in social honor and power in politics in taking the basis to begin to do likewise, word, the fourth conclusion and last insurrection that three Negroes from Indiana and arrived wearing Fair-banks badges, the fourth conclusion that the Fairbanks band wagon in from the Indiana capit—had moved the rumors. Suffragettes Move in the Rain: Another arm feature of the opening day was the parade of the suffragettes, young, in the drenching rain and then banded as no other women could who had been in the rock-bottom destiny of life in Chili, and it will be a long lonesome day for an Eastern lady would ever consent to go through such an unpleasant emotion. were deserted, children were loaned to neighbors, meals were missed and the signs of motherhood prognosticated with the visions of suffering more than being able to be alone being able to be up by deception it is hard to determine upon what the European history and experience has been, judging article which gave a depressing account of the deterioration of the female sex in the old country, the jail record and the object lesson taught in America as to the traction to the cause after they have neglected their families and forsaken Carrie Chapman Cats pounded upon the table as a rebuke to men for having Men pretended to favor the movement when in their hearts they don't. Why don't they be truthful about it? Men pretended to love women give women the right to vote any where if they choose and the sooner they are a test and when the sanctity of the home is destroyed and the whole darn as a test and when we will all be able to dwell together in peace and harmony like Cannibals. The Saturday Separation The nomination of Charles E. Hughes of New York, which came like a surprise to the general public and created a sensation, did not unexpected to those who were conversant with the inner circle of the Grand Old Party. It was nothing less surprising than the fact that the party leaders in behalf of self and faction. The people of the nation whose name was looked upon him, the safest man to handle the country as President in the face of the present crisis in the treasury and treason, execute knowledge and experience, a life record which now causes him to be looked upon as the greatest public man Lincoln, his retirement, even if not accepting the Progressive nomination, would be made impossible as he will be involved in the interests of our country, in loosing Roosevelt, the President who gave the Negro race a square deal, the president who afforded to vote again for Wilson or any Democratic candidate, however inviting segregation, which means the birth of a nation's downfall and the destiny of it which will prove itself in the prologue of national warfare and its ultimate history. If war should actually come, what ever of quantity in blood that is spilled, would be sufficient for the American Negro until insurrection shall cause the nation to give the black demand upon the black demand upon the conditions in revolution as that of the civil war. With the Negro race there are now but a few candidates, and the black loyal by voting for the Republican candidates and take a chance with the nation. Charles Fairbanks, who has been nominated for a second term as Vice President, is a further assurance of the second plan of safety will be found in the advent of war. It will be up to the Negro to be the second and equal rights if they are expected to serve their country loyally, for in the glare of American and judicial insurrection is a fading light,—the light that fails. The Dusky Delegation. PRESIDENT CONSIDERS SUCCESS OR TO HUGHES. Appointment May Be Made Within Two Weeks—John W. Davis is Possibility. WASHINGTON, June 12—A successor to Sharles E. Hughes on the United States Senate, the attorney being considered by President Wilson, Attorney-General Gregory probably will be called into conference in a day or two and the appointment may be made. McReynolds Barred. This is regarded almost as imperative, in view of the fact that Justice McReynolds is barred from participation in the case because the most important cases because he took part in presenting them to the court. It is understood that the President would like to appoint John W. Davis, solicitor-general, but may be deterred from doing so because Davis presides at the department in a number of cases now pending. Several messages urging the appointment received, but the President is expected to name a Democrat, since the court now has five Republicans and three Democrats. Seats Barranged. Rearrangement of seats was the only evidence of the resignation of Justice Brandeis, who presided prime court. Justice Van Deanter succeeded Mr. Hughes as fourth assasinator. Justice Brandeis took the seat on the extreme right of the chief justice, establish the record, and take the justice to only one day in the new member's seat on the extreme left. Justice Brandeis was assigned to the chief justice, and he ceeded Mr. Hughes. He thus became disqualified to sit in the federal courts in New York and to pass on a large number of cases. The duties of the Fifth circuit, formerly performed by Justice Lamar were assumed temporarily by Chief Justice Thomas. The duties of the Fourth circuit. J. J.

Harding, chairman of the Senate convention, in accepting the party's nomination for the presidency follows: "Mr. Chairman and Delegates: I want to preside over the bench. But in this critical period in our national history I recognize that it is your mission to respond. You appear at a time of national exigency transcending merely partisan considerations, through-going Americanism with protective upbuilding policies, essential to our peace and security, and to that answer with the pledge of all that is me to service of our country.

Belated efforts have not availed to recover the influencer, and we cannot sacrificed; and brave words have continually stripped of their force by indecision. Diplomacy to Best Standard. "I desire to see our diplomacy restored to its best standards, and to have these advanced; to have no sacrilege and to maintain pedicencies; to have the first ability of the country always at its command and ahead in diplomatic intercourse; to maintain diplomatic under international law; to insisting steadfastly upon all our rights as neutral nation, and to maintain national obligations, and by the clear correctness and justness of our position, and we shall for an instant disposition to sustain them to dignify our place among the nations. stand for an Americanism that knows our country and we shall for an instant tolerant to sustain them to dignify our place among the nations.

Its staff of writers is said to believe the best thinkers of the country. A bust of Booker T. Washington was unveiled at the recent commencement institute. The address was delivered by Robert E.

Although not an active candidate, Rev B. G. Shaw, pastor of the Metropolitan church, made a phenomenal showing in the race for financial secretary at the Louisville session of the general conference of its congregation. He was inaugurating before leaving for Louisville that he would return and continue to serve them. He accepted a general office, no matter how lucrative. Dr. Shaw recently purchased a fine edifice in a fashionable section of Louisville, and he joined Union M. E. Congregation, and now has 2,000 members, and operates in connection with the church.

Morely raffying at St. Louis this week—the Democrats. Hughes and Fairbanks as a team is conceded to be a tough proposition for the opposition. While the Republicans were busy at president making in Chicago last week President Wilson slipped one over the colored folk. He gave the precedent deed at Washington D.C. to John F. Costello, a white man. This office has been held by Negroes since the days of Grover Cleveland. Can you beat it? CHARLES E. HUGHES. The nomination of Charles E. Hughes for president by the Republicans at Chicago last week has met the hearty approval of that party. In fact the nomination seems to be pleasing to the thoughtful of other parties in that the selection is a tendency in the right direction, the selecting of men who are idealists in their views of what service is to be rendered the country. Mr. Hughes public activities read like a political fairy story. He succeeded in getting things done in New York which seemed impossible with other men. A man that had the nerve to veto two hundred bills as he did when Governor of his State is very right or very wrong as to his conception of his duty to the public. It turned out that he was eminently right, standing for the things which stood the test neath the scrutiny of the most exacting publicists, not somehow, sooner or later, learns the worth of men—knows their vantage as it concerns their relation to anals. The Republican party needed Mr. Hughes, or his likes, a thing which was so persistently evident as cago when men took the last stand" for civil saneness and righteousness. And they won. The tempestuous career of Mr. Roosevelt had injected a spirit of restlessness in the affairs of the party, which was not in accord with that deep and abiding peace that is sensed even in big business concerns. The present European war doubtless had something to do with this, but by nature he is stormy, a disposition which made itself felt throughout the country, and for which it was none the better. And out of the very turbulent times dictated by Theodore Roosevelt, in part, grew the necessity of Charles E. Hughes. In his letter of acceptance the Republican nominee has answered every demand made of him by an anxious party, and we may say, an anxious public, which wishes to take no chances as to the high conduct of affairs of the presidential office, the business which framed with danger. He is for preparedness in all respects, and for the conservation of the rights of all of the citizens. IN IT AGAIN. Our correspondent and agent, Hardin Tolbert, now at Louisville, Ky., is to be commended for his hustling ability. He gets rid of a big bunch of our papers every week, consequently he is valuable from that viewpoint. But Mr. Tolbert has the faculty of saying things which are very displeasing to some of the members of his community from time to time. More than once we, here in Indianapolis, have been called on to retract some libelous or defamatory assertion made by our correspondent. In fact, this has been so frequent that it appears that he is trying to put us in a hole, and yet we do not like to think of him in that light. It may be that Mr. Tolbert, in his zeal to get news that's worth while, sometimes overstates the case, giving him information the color of lilac. We must give Mr. Tolbert credit for being a very sleuth at news getting, and it may be, as we said, that he works situations harder than they should be. We have not known him to do any mere invention. At this time we are called on to retract some things our correspondent said in the issue of June 3, or prepare for the worst. The Freeman has always taken high ground in such matters. It is not too proud to correct a false impression, rather holding it as a pleasure to do so. We would not like to know that any individual had been wronged through its columns for a single moment. As to the issue of June 3, effort is made to have us see that individuals of Louisville, namely, Editor Lee L. Brown, William Waley, I. Willis Cole and Rev. Harvey, were maligned or defamed in what our correspondent had to say. While we admit that the individuals named are so associated with the author, we respond calls crooks, thieves, etc., that they, too, seem to bear the odium; yet there are no such charges. We are perfectly willing to read the gentlemen out of the muck or seeming muck in which they have been placed by our correspondent, provided we find it possible to do so. As it appears to us, there has been nothing said which is of a "tangible" nature We mean that we see nothing to withdraw. And if we are mistaken as to our conclusion we assure the gentlemen that we await with pleasure their dictation. It is of no consequence to us to insist that men stay wronged. Right journals are not interested in standing by their correspondents, right or wrong. And in this case it appears to us that Tolbert et al so ingeniously worded their article that it sufficiently wounds without sufficiently getting them into the clutches of the law. This publication is not for calling men thieves or crooks at any time, and most especially we are not in for calling those names to men in public life. We are not in sympathy with our correspondent's methods of veiled assassination. When he does this he takes liberties, and of which the nature is not known until the matter appears in print. We are candid in all of this, since we know the power of the press. It is a terrible engine of oppression when used that way. It is not our intention to so direct our efforts. And should there be error, then in the language of Oliver Goldsmith, we prefer it on virtues' side—for the weak and defenseless. As to this matter again, we now say that we have no knowledge of any rascally transactions on the part of the individuals named, nor do we approve the insinuations, at least, to contend of possible criminal prosecution. SHAKESPEARE. A student of Shakespeare in giving some glimpses of the great dramatist as a man had this to say of him in supporting his view that he was nothing with the common people: "Shakespeare sympathized with the conspiracy of the nobles against Caesar because all popular rule—even that which was guided by genius was repugnant to him in as much as it was power exercised directly or indirectly by an ignorant herd." And again he said: "For the people he felt nothing but scorn. He saw them in the mass—humanity with him was not great entities. He saw more and more that these few illustrious men were all that made life worth living, and the belief gave impetus to that hero worship which had been characteristic of his early life." This strange analysis of the great Shakespeare doubtless is shocking to the senses of men who had learned to think of him as having been too great of mind as having been to have out any phase of the children of men from his care and consideration. The writer, however, gives a reason, insisting that the poor reception of the superman, set up in his rebellion willing or unwilling against those that trampled his pearls in the mire. For after all he was human, and above that a man of the stage, the sensitivity of which class is providential. We have no direct testimony that Shakespeare was as the writer deploys, who, perhaps gleaned his information, by the beetle of the lines. He holds that his well scathing of the people seen now and then is proof sufficient of the man's heart. When Carolanus is banished by the people, says the writer, he turns on them, saying: "You common cry or curs! Whose breath I hate as reek o' the rotten fens, whose love I prize as the dead carcasses of unburied men, that do corrupt my air." Other instances are given where the writer thinks that Shakespeare was getting back at the mob that hurled nuts, apple cores, orange peelings and sausage rinds at him, or on the stage while he was producing his heart's work. FACTS ABOUT THE RUMOR BEING CIRCULATED AGAINST THE MORTAL LIFE AND ACCIDENT INSURANCE COMPANY OF LOUIS VILLE, KY. (By GEO, SLAUGHTER) Agents of one or more of the Companies competing with the Mammoth Life Insurance Company, Accident Insurance Company, business insurance company, without effect, that the Mammoth will have to comply with the new Law passed by the Legislature, those whose business is making his rumor a serious lack of intelligence, both of the Law and the people. Informed people do not accept, without investigation, especially when it is being told by a class trying to increase its personal gain at the expense of the Negro. They refer, in the same Law that was declared unconstitutional, by the Court of Appeals, in the test suit brought by the Negro. The Insurance Company, in favor of the Mammoth, except, it has been so amended or changed as to make it continue the following is a copy of the part of the Law that refers to such Companies as the Mammoth: the insurance company or Associations heretofore organized and incorporated under the Laws of this State and now doing business of Life and Casualty Insurance upon the cooperative or assessment plan may at any meeting of its members or peers of the hundred thousand dollars etc." How any man or set of men can read the above and say it effects the Mammooth or any other company and doing business under the laws of this state before the last legislature sat, is past understanding, except in cases where they take their word, without further investigation. Isn't it clear: "Companies heretofore organized business must be known to be privilege-optional but not a requirement. The same law was on the statutes several years before the law was declared unconstitutional, and there were then (and are now) several companies that did not conform because the law was not intended to make them, and they did not elect to do so. Further: In our investigation of the matter, we are lead to believe, from our findings, that ammoth or the same to up a hundred thousand dollars, if necessary. CEDAR RAPIDS, IA. THE FREEMAN.

VAUDEVILLE AT THE COLUMBIA THEATER A GOOD BILL—SOME RAMBLE. The Columbia Theater, Indianapolis, is making good in vaudeville. James L. Nicholson, the manager, is giving his patrons a good run for their money. This week he is giving two acts such as are seen on any body's time. WILLIAMS AND BASS Si Williams and George Bass are hoiweivers from last week in fact they have always paired frequently before the patrons have always been favorites. They are full of good things which they put in their mouths, that they are always a pleasure to see. George Bass is unique in his comedy work. Bass has had great success in the original Black Bass from Boston. He has also written for various companies, including the "Passing Review," out of New York last season, and in which company he did feature the original Black Bass direction of Nicholas Felmen, the well-known promoter. Bass' work greatly benefited from his experience in the direction of Nicholas Felmen. He classed with that set of performers, including G20, Walker and Bert Williams. Bass is funny every moment. So williams, a later day product, is a keen one, being one of the most accomplished performers, performing audiences and has equal success whatever the class of songs he sings. He is gifted with a keen sense of humor, never runs the risk of firing jokes or stunts that don't hit. He knows what will go; and he knows how to put it over. Williams is simp; Williams in his monologue, apparently without effort, is a bit more funny. He hits. His comedianism is classy as well as his straight. They match well doing a variety of stunts which keeps them fresh and acceptable all of the time. HARRY BROWN, SINGING CAR-TOONIST. Harry Brown gives a very pleasing drawing and singing with ease and as he did years ago, but much easier drawing and singing nothing although he is mounting the years, not alarmingly old, but growling anything. His stage mannerism and bearing are fine and perfect. As the Indianapolis product, "em." He is an Indianapolis product. THE RAMBLES The Saturday night rambles are becoming attractive features of the Co-Op, and they are being gathered from eight to ten acts, white and colored performers, making for a fun day. Johnson-Jeffries fight pictures were the highlight of the day, although the parts of Johnson and Jeffries were taken by other men as characters. Reno was done BOWSER'S A. B. C.s AT CHICAGG SUNDAY. Most Evenly Matched Team in America to Cross Bats at Schorling's Chicago, Sunday, June 18—Delegation From Indiana to Escort the Team—Chicago B.C. Rooters to Punt for the Team—Gliants Lose Sunday to Magnetts. By Cary B. Lewis. CHICAGO, IL., June 15—Mr. Dixon is the name of the young man who lost the first Sunday game to the Giants, the Scherling's park. Not a Sunday game was down to the "home boys" discredit unintentionally, but the looks as though he pitched a game not according to orders and for this, he fluked in the fifth and was a dismal 10-10. The Giants batted a hitting team but "Rube" thought Dixon and Brabelton, two youngsters could hold the visitors down. They especially hold in the fourth inning when the Magnets laid on Dixon, scoring five runs. In the fifth Whitworth, "Rube" scored 10-10 and then the fans saw some game. The visitors had a lead of seven to one. The Giants team picked up some speed with Petway behind Whitworth. Lloyd and team picked up some speed with Petway behind Whitworth. Lloyd and team picked up some speed with sixth during the Giants crossed the bag three times, once in the seventh and once in the eighth.

Foster will give an account of himself since his return from the West and his trip to the United States, feeling between the two teams to make Foster want to show the A. B. Cs how little they know about America's greatness and how they are singing around in their bonnet that they are the whole show these balmy days, and how they are founded on good reasons, that Mr. Andrew "Rubee" Foster is still the shining star of the show entitled to the title of "Base Ball Magnate." This honor will be bitterly fought out this coming Sunday. It is a great opportunity to be along with many rooters for the A. B. Cs, there will be Col. Bill Cowen, Col. Bill Adams, Col. George Holt and others who will give the home boys some inspiration. Grand Closes Afternoons.

Wonders .....0 0 0 0 0 0 4 0 0 4 KENYA COLUMBUS, O. What turned out to be the best game of the season was played last Sunday at the Driving Park between the famous Bowers Easterns and the Xenia All-Stars. The game was interesting in that it was the 11th in which inning the Columbus boys proved their superiority with a score of 2 to 1. Both teams showed an improvement in both form and team work since their last contest, in which the Xenia crowd Over one thousand fans were wildly cheering their favorite teams, especially the Eagles, for the game was not devoid of sensational plays on the part of both teams. Henry of the Easterners, significant for the Eagles, on the part of the Easterners, showed excellent form and was well supported by the Easterners, receiving work for the Columbus team. Manager Bill Lewis showed his usual "gold dust smile an arm was overjoyed with the Eagles," and Prince Ed Bowers, owner of the Easterners, was so tickled that he simply drew himself up into a knot. The Easterners' owner, headed a delegation of lady rooters—suffice to say—for Columbus, while hundreds of out-of-town rooting for "Prince Edward's" boys. The Xenia team, it will be remembered, is one of the fastest semi-pro teams, mostly composed of Wilberforce students.

Provident Hospital Benefit Minstrels at the Pekin. It will not take many words to express that the best class of society Pekin theater to see the ladies amateur minstrels, who performed for the audience, placed upon the stage to complete a scenery and the floral offerings were placed upon the stage to complete a scene. Hall was the middle man woman in a full dress suit. The other six end men were the gentlemen, and it was a mistake that the programs were fictitious instead of giving the real names of the ladies regard. The performance was excellent and especially the solo and chorus numbers were honor or merit, those whom it was given gratefully to them. Tombiles were in a lineup. The Pekin theater is now running pictures. PROGRAM OF THE MOVIES. **States Theater**—"Policie," Saturday, June 17th. "The Idols," Sunday, June 18th.

BILLY KING BANQUETS BRAINS. EMMETT J. SCOTT SPEAKS AT GRACE. Grace Presbyterian church was crowded with the most cultured young men, soon when Emmett J. Scott of Tuskegee addressed the Young People's Lyceum. It was a little late when Dr. D. McKenna, Dr. D. McKenna and your correspondent arrived. Mr. Scott had entered into his discourse in which he deserved an apology, Dr. D. McKenna to the value of self-respect and respect for labor. He paid a highribute to the late Dr. Boone and an honored Major Moton, the new head at Tuskegee. He said that the Tuskegee club of Chicago is a representation of the African-American culture and institute. He quoted after the late Lyman Abbott and stated that education is the call of the age, he said, is for the services of men who have brains to do. Hon. Charles Cottrell was afterwards introduced and said, "I am proud to have worked for the humiliation that the negro race has." This was said possibly in the truth and rest of Mexican situation and the rest of Mexican remarks were brainy and powerful. OSCAR DE PRIEST SUBMITS AN ORDINANCE. Alderman De Priest has presented an ordinance to the city council aimed at and discrimination against colored women and referred to the judicial committee.

It further provides: "Nor shall there be any discrimination on account of race, lot or graves in any cemetery or place for burying the dead." This ordinance may be "by any person firm or corporation, it shall be the duty of the mayor to re-require forthwith the license" upon completion. Then it is expressly stipulated that this revocation shall not bar a claimant for damages from bringing suit against the city council. This same article which appeared in substance in the Chicago Herald last Tuesday is significant in indicating that the city council will think Mr. De Priest's services will be to the people of his race in the future.

Some artists who think they know it all are never able to prove it. It's easier to get a bad reputation than to keep a good one. Mr. J. H. Gray, Freeman's correspondent for Philadelphia's colored playhouses, without doubt is some legitimate writer. When they come to the art writings, they are clean, up-to-date and worth reading. "Lookin'." **YOU AND WORK WITH** Observe the difference between a dog and a cat. When a dog wants to go outdoors to bark at a passing fire engine he stands on the ground and barks at you with entreaty in his eyes, and wriggles all over with intense eagerness he bounces on, never stopping to look, and perchance he hurts himself into the jaws of some energetic, combative, and easily frightened cats, sits down quietly and begins to request. If the request is not quickly gratefully accepted, but no matter how eager he becomes, when you open the door he sniffs the air and examines the window, points his ears forward, alert for every sound, and then cautiously some people go through life like a dog bouncing out of a suddenly opened door. Such people are of the class population. A dog who hurts himself through a door into a hornet's nest would be you. You see the door was opaque. There was no way for him to see through it. He could not. He could not be on the other side. He didn't put it there. It was just his luck that it happened to be there. NOTES ABOUT THE J. H. MA HONEY MISTINEL BAND UN- DER THE LEADERSHIP OF JAS.

The show came from Danville, Va., and joined us in Hope, Ark. We all welcome him back, as the show band are strengthening some comedian and bass drummer. Joe White says the old section drummer of Archie Blue and himself. Says, lookout other sections as these two are some hot, brightly-singing "I Almost Got Nobody." E. Alfred Drew, juggler and slacker art, is quite an addition to the show. Professor Veale's band is still in good trim. The roster is: the rookie, David Hardson, Robert Everleigh, clarinets; Norman Mason and George Jefferson, cornetes; Park Wade and Frank Perryman, bass; Franklin Frank Perryman, trombone; Henry White, tuba; Joseph White and Archie Ehre, snare and bass; Frank Perryman, improvisation to his solo, "Oh! You Drummer," played on circle every day. The bunch brings regards to others in ALEXANDER TOLLIVER'S BIG SHOW. (By Al Wells.) to act when it should act. Their worst prostitution comes big worded up. Other people need to train the will to delay action until the intellect has opportunity to investigate and deliberate. But all people need to train the will to wait upon sound, practical judgement, or opportunity to investigate it is not a proof that he is deliberating. Many people procrastinates, procrastinates, procrastinates, and then finally procrastinates. If you have more prompt action might have been taken with far greater deliberation. The man who plans a year, five procrastinates, and then definite purpose in view, and then plans all of his minor activities to further that purpose, is in no danger of leapfrog. He is suddenly opened door into hornet's nest. The man who plans not only what he is going to do, but how he is going to do it, and then trains his will to abide by his plans is in danger of neither procrastination nor undue, impulsive action. The man who plans all of his activities in an orderly manner can also, by the order, be said to be heaviest first law. Whether this be true or not, it is true that no man is well-disciplined for success, who has not trained himself to procrastinate. Punctuality is order applied to time. Punctuality arrives too late in the berry patch to get the biggest and ripest berries. He is looking for some one to promote. He wastes hundred of horse power of catch to catch up and make up for lost time. Study and put into your business life and put into order, prudence, punctuality and tac. Cottage, Oak Mount, Pa. While there Mr. Berry will rehearse a new act, an Indian character and serpentine dance to his many friends, in and out of the profession.

Wells would like to hear from Marvelous La Vola, Willie Edwards and all good men in the profession will reach us through the Freeman. WELCOME K. OF P.

If you laugh, make yourself take a laugh! Hump your backbone for the fray, Laugh your seeming glooms away, You can beat "Jinx" any day— If you laugh! When defeat is imminent, Wake yourself with a laugh! In the throes of discontent, Make yourself take a laugh! Give disaster utter rout, Laugh the lamps of failure out; You can be a wiser without a doubt— If you laugh. —LEW HALL NOTES FROM THE GEORGIA SMART SET. (By Ollix Cox.) The Georgia Smart Set Company is now in the State of Missouri for four years. He just came out of Arkansas where we played to S. R. O. every night. He happily bunch on the road today. Everywhere we play the patrons hate to see us leave. They always want the company to play. Mr. James Bubber White, our stage manager, is proud of his bunch, and he wears a golden smile. The gang manager and everything is going on smoothly. He changed his last act which is a scream. It is entitled "Mr. Hekeikiah Doo, from Navasoto, Texas." He brings the lights to the stage, singing "Pray the Lights to go out." Miss Leslie Wainton, our little sou brette, is going big nightly singing San Francisco Band." Mr. Ollie Cox, with the big voice, always gets his, Mr. McCarter and Mr. Reid Corners have been on the sick list for a week, but he is not on the sick list. Mr. Cohen, our manager, is proud of his bunch, and he is always there with the goods. Jackson's brother just arrived from Warren, Penn, where he buried his brother, Mr. C. L. Erickson. The whole company mourn his loss. He will be remembered. Mr. Morland, our band leader, and his fourteen-piece band is cleaning up featuring the Tulip Time. It is almighty the Tulip Time. Believe me he is there with the goods. Our noon concert is assisted by the band, and his first tenor; Eddie Russell, 2nd tenor; Page Tillman, baritone, and Ollie Cox, bark, singing "Sweetest Girl in Holland" and "Tulip Time in Holland."

It don't matter how good a man may be or what drawing power he has, but it doesn't matter that you should get you a nice-looking girl partner then he would give you a job to work. On the other hand, out of ten of them, both men and women, don't know how to make up. You see some in silks and embroidered shirts, and few know how to dress to suit the occasion. Now, I don't know it all, but I know that the managers and managers would cut their social affairs apart from show business so they would be much better for both parties. The writer wishes to be known as the knocker, I shall give my full name and must agree that I will write me "The Knocker," care the Freeman. I would be pleased to know if I am right or wrong. Now you must and must agree that I will most likely be am like S. H. Dudley: Managers that want to be successful get all their acts through good agen. you must know how your acts will be better for both the acts and the managers. As you know, at any and all times you want ads where they say "We want first class acts at all times," and if you answer them and say your salary is not enough, you don't take that he will get a couple of kitchen mechanics and fetch them as the "Lob Gob Sisters" or some other group of people to the people. If not, they will wire in to the office and get some big old sloppy girl that sings the "Blues" and some other suggestive motion. He trains his audience to just such junk and when a real act comes he allows the ignorant audience and yell at the top of his or her voice, "Bald de Jack, or sing dem Blues, Nigger! You ain't got to be a clever performer as Miss Josephine Tobias in Savannah, Ga., last winter. The better class of performers should the bill with the acts with the white mouth and eyes, spangled dress west and other absurd wardrobe. If they managers will help us we will help them. THE KNOCKER. EUGENE CLARK WRITES FROM THE LA TENAS CIRCUS. We blid farewell to the American flag Wednesday night and opened the show with her flags floating to the sky. The province is swarming with soldiers. The first stand was all any one could wish, but June 3 was banner day and the grounds was crowded with anxious people to see the show upon which the O. opened the kid top and less than half the crowd was overflowing. The ministrel was in its glory and took the house by storm, with Joe Clark and Eugene Cox in overflowing spell-bound, and taking them off their feet. The show continued for forty minutes. This is the first time since we have seen the ticket wagon was ordered and the parade the big two one-half hour earlier than usual. In less than thirty minutes the ticket wagon was ordered and the kid show could not handle them. Now what do you think of that? Canada beats the States for shows and the crowd sends regards to all friends in and out of the profession. Joe Clark says hello to the bunch on Alabama by the hundreds. They got out 10 men from out show to enlist. NOTES FROM J. H. MAHONEY'S MODEL MOBILE MINSTRELS. We are about to finish up North Carolina where we have spent two very long weeks in business for a new show and we are setting a hot pace for all tented shows that follow. Charlie Austin, known as the businessman of all service, proved to be of some service to the company. He plays snare drum in the band and is some drummer, too. Mrs. Cherry Williams deserves special notice, especially when she sings "Piperage." Mabe Daves, known for his way out of cleverly puts over, "Some Body Knows." Blue Steal is closing a red store and is doing some blues." Kenkins and Kenkins never fails. Mr. Julius Pollock, our young comedian, is doing some mogueque. "Bye Bye," the is out. Now it must be said that Buddy Glenn is really the oldest Negro comedian, in fourth year, and is seen in the street parade daily and says he is just as James Crosby. Buddy does a real Man" song and dance night. No joke. L. W. Bryant, our clarionetist, and M. Richard Williams, sends best wishes to Birmingham and Billy Moore, trombonist, is slipping a real slide now and he sends best regards to Ralph Redmond, Freddie Poe and Bea Murray and Mr. and Mrs. Birmingham. Cole Bros. circus, our circus team is a real feature and circus card. James Crosby, the tall talker, is no longer on the end, he is in the center and he fills the place, he is on the order of W. Sterns big ball hit., "I Love You. That's One Thing I Know," and he still retains that sweet baritone voice and he knows how to present it. At Elizabeth City, N. C., we had opposition. William Todd's big Vaude- ment voice and he knows the Mobile Minstrels did not know they were in town. At 8:15 the big canvas was packed from home to doe as a crowd at the Mobile Minstrels audience. We leave the old Tar Heel state Monday and Suffolk, Va., will be the first stand in the state and we look for a big business in the old Mother state. Read The Freeman and see posted. T. T. T.

Bell, proprietor of the Bell Hotel, of Dayton, O., was in the city last week. He was on his way home from the Chicago convention. The Bell Hotel is considered to be one of the finest in the country for colored people. STOP! LOOK AND LISTEN! Give us just one moment of your time. A Fortune is knocking at your door. You answer the call: "Is it a whisper of nations?" "What will become of the Colored Race?" years after we were freed, a man by the name of C. H. Carbola was sent from England to study the race problem in America. He returned and said that his idea was that the Colored people must be much as any race. Ten years later, another man was sent from Spain—he stopped over and met him in "his country" and invited If you will buy enough shares in this Company now, you will have a share in the office of the Reliable Hotel Company is at 2553 Ellis Avenue, Chicago, Illinois. With the membership of the colored race to operate with us in the way of buying the market for sale February 7, 1918; but, before we began to sell, we rented five small buildings in the city of Chicago. After paying up all expenses, in each hotel, we average a profit of $12.00 a share of the profit of $60 a day from our five hotels. Now, if we can clear $12 a day in one small hotel, then, in three thousand dollars, we can clear $36,000 thousand times $12, which is $36,000. Now, if in one day, we can clear $36,000 thousand times $12, which is $36,000. Now, if in one day, we can clear $36,000 thousand times $12, which is $31,140,000. Now, if not have all our hotels in one city, but in every city in the United States, But the most of them will be in the largest cities. After we get our hotel, and office suites for rent, we will begin to buy real estate and build a large building in every large city we will have a department store, opera house, hotel, and office suites for rent. In the city in which we are built, in the city in which we are built. Then, we will have fine buildings of each large city, and we shall have built a large building in each large city, then, in one of the largest cities, we will build the largest building in which we will employ thousands and thousands of men, women, boys and goods to supply our department stores. We will show to the world that "the whisper of the Colored Race years ago was a great thing," and after we shall have finished our big building in all the cities—the whole country—we shall move from all quarters to see our success. The whisper will become a triumphant thunder. We will buy enough shares in this company now, it will mean big money to you five years from now. We will present for $1,000. Five years from now, we will pay you $6,00 for every share you now pay $1,00 for, that is, five years from now. We will receive your order for shares. The Reliable Hotel Company is the biggest company in the Money. Because, if you buy one share in this company, and do not buy any more shares, we will pay you five years from now. We will pay you $6,00 for your one share; just the same as we would pay you $5,000 for buying 1,000 shares for $1,00 per share. If you buy shares in this company, we will pay you $5,000; is going to invest in real estate—because to invest money in real estate is meant that the world hns ever known. The old records found in the orient show that the ancient Babylonians money together and investing in their estate, as far back as the time of King Han Murabi, about 2,100 years before the Babylonians how long before the time, no one knows. If it had been unsafe to invest in real estate, the world would have long ago stopped putting money into it. Three years from February 7, 1916, we will own three thousand hotels. We will give us three hotels, this will give us three years from February 7, 1916, a net profit of $13,140,000, or more a year. Now, it will be three thousand hotels; and we, if we average selling 1,000,000 shares a year, at the price of $1.00 per share, for three years, succession will be $5,000,000. And we will continue to pay out $5,000,000 a year for three years in succession—then we will pay out $5,000,000 a year for every share that has been bought in this company at $1.00 per share, five years from the date they bought it. We will have $5,000 for every share that has been increased to about $15,000,000 per year. Then we will have $15,000,000 per year in our treasury, in real estate and build big buildings—in real estate and build profit will be increasing all the time. Now, don't you see it is safe to buy shares—to invest your money—in the physical property. The extraordinary rich men and women in other races obtain most of the money they co-operate in the way of putting them to work and going in business. And every time we come home night, we can buy the splendid homes—and does it not occur to us that some body owns them? In this million homes, office buildings, factories and stores—somebody owns them all. How much of this wealth belongs to you? Buy shares in this company, success begins at the Rellable Hotel Company—Buying shares in this company allows you to come to us more abundantly, we must unite in the way of putting in something worth while. Every merchant, every mechanic, every farmer, every teacher, every doctor, every physician and every lawyer in our race, in fact all our people, ought to invest money by buying shares in this company. Answer: Yes. Because shares cost only one dollar; and if you don't buy but one share, you receive one share from the day we receive your order. And if you buy 100 shares, we will pay you $500; if you buy 500 shares, we will pay you $5,000; if you buy 5,000 shares at $1.00 per share, we will pay you $25,000 five years from the day that we receive our shares; for shares in this company by express money order, P. O. money order, check, draft, or registered mail. Make sure your for shares payable to The Reliable Hotel Company, 2053 Ells Avenue, Chicago, Illinois.
